Alright. I have a lot to blog about!
WARNING: If you want some happy, ordinary news, skip to the bottom of my blog, but if you want to hear what has been going on lately, keep reading.
This week has been a long and crazy week. It all started, I guess on Wednesday. Ryan was cooking dinner and I was sitting on my new couch (let me know if you haven't seen my new rearranged room) watching TV. All of a sudden, I feel this incredible pain in my right knee. Since the 7th grade I have had problems with my knee, but this was the kind of pain unlike I have ever felt before. It hurt so bad that I began to cry uncontrollably. This, of course, freaked Ryan out. We handled the situation with two IcyHot Ice packs and two Advil. As of right now, my knee is okay. I wear a brace everyday and keep it elevated at night.
The next night was pretty fun, despite the fact my knee was killing me. Ryan and I helped our friends, Cassie and Tiffany, move into their new dorm room in Luntsford (the same dorm room as me). Cassie and I started around 2:30 and people came and left helping us. I called it quits around 1:30 that morning (my normal bed-time is around 10:30-11). We had a lot of fun moving and taking a break to go to Golden Corral, but staying up was probably not the smartest idea for me.
Friday: I got ready for Elizabeth to come over to ETSU. She had her QB orientation. It was great to see her again. Elizabeth, her mom, Ryan, and I went to eat at Smokey Bones. It was a lot of fun just chilling out. That night, Elizabeth and I stayed up and talked until 2:00 in the morning. The next day she and I went to eat with her mom and then she went to her orientation. That was the right before she left for home.
Saturday was a day of rest for me, literally (not in the sense of Sabbath exactly). I basically slept the whole day away trying to make up for the sleep that I had missed the past couple of nights. When I woke up, Ryan called and said that Cassie, Tiffany, and Adam wanted to go to the movies. I was completely up to it, as long as we didn't watch something like Hitcher again. We all piled in Adam's car and drove to the movie theater. We stood in line to find out that the movie we wanted to see, Norbit, was sold out for that time. Instead, we bought the latest showing. We went to the mall and ate. Around 9 something we watched the movie, which was absolutely hilarious! After the movie we went to Cassie and Tiffany's new room and played DDR and watched Dane Cook. Once again, I didn't make it back down to my room until 3 that morning.
Sunday: I slept again most of the day. I did some homework and some cleaning up from over the weekend. Then, BOOM, another health crisis. I looked at my right eye to find a giant, red bump on my eyelid. My eyelid was swollen and really itchy. That night I called Mom and Dad to tell them about it. That led to calling Uncle Tony (the amazing eye doctor). I found out that I have an infection that caused a sty. I now take antibiotics twice and day and have eye drops. It seems like a simple treatment, but don't be fooled! I have to take the pills with meals, but no dairy! If you know me, you know that I love my milk and cheese. I also can't lay down for 30 minutes after I take it also. My favorite out of all of the restrictions is the fact that I can't wear contacts or make up until everything is cleared up. And of course what happens on Monday? A huge red bump on my face, which I can't cover up because of my eye.
Tuesday: I woke up with a scratchy throat. Great! I thought I was getting sick. After classes, Ryan and I headed to Walmart to buy me a humidifier and some things for my own cold care package. On our way there...BOOM!!! A car accident. Not in front of us, or by the side of the road, it was us! We were on State of Franklin and it was raining. The light, which is a horrible light, turn red. The car in front of us stopped short. We then stopped pretty quickly. The car behind us tried to stop, but his tires slipped and hit us in the back. My first accident in my car (while I was in my car). My car is fine, just a few scratches and dents, but as you can see, his was not. I am now in the process of finding some places to repair the minor damages to my car.
Today, I woke up with a sore throat and a runny nose. So I'm pretty sure I am sick. I've been drinking lots of fluids and resting when I can.
Now for th
e happy stuff!
I first have to say thank you to Ryan. He has been with me through the whole week. He even got me flowers to cheer me up. They were closed at first, but they opened up the next morning. They are absolutely beautiful!
Valentine's Day was great. My classes were not that bad and even though work was crazy, I got some of Candy's Butterfinger cake, which was very yummy. That afternoon Ryan and I just spent time with each other. We went to the store to find something to do (I will blog later on what we have done together the past few weekends). We came back to my room and he cooked me dinner while I baked him a cake. We watched some TV and just hung out. It was nice to finally relax. I also got a couple of surprised for Valentine's Day.
Ryan surprised me with a much
needed watch. It's exactly what I wanted, a round-faced, silver watch. In the mail I could a box of goodies from my parents. It had candy and some other little neat things in it. Today, I got the book
Captivating from Aaron in the mail and a card from my parents and Grandmama. That was definate pick-me-up.
Well, I think that is it right now. I just ask that you keep me in your prayers. Have a great day! ;)
. Two, because it snowed! Not just flurry snow, but snow snow! Enough snow that a snow day would actually make sense. ;)
